Ben, Charlie and Charles reflect on an agonising weekend for England, who were knocked out of the Rugby World Cup after losing their semi-final by a single point to defending champions South Africa.
The guys look at where the game was lost, and if England could have done more to build a lead when they were on top.
The fallout from the match has been dominated by an allegation made by Tom Curry against Bongi Mbonambi after the England flanker accused the South African hooker of a racial slur. World Rugby are investigating the situation.
We also take a look at New Zealand's comfortable win on Friday night over Argentina and ask if the All Blacks are now favourites to win a fourth World Cup on Saturday.
And ahead of the third-place play-off on Friday night, we ask if the fixture is pointless.
